Summary: Overrated
Review: This is a mildly entertaining flick that was released to capitalize on the newest animation technology. The story really drags and Mike Meyers' Scottish accent starts to grate on the nerves after about 15 minutes. John Lithgow, on the other hand, is hilarious with his deadpan delivery. The funniest scene in the movie is between Lithgow's Prince Fahrquod and the Gingerbread Man. Skip to that scene and you've seen all there is to see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: I have probably watched this movie 10 times since i bought it last month, and I laugh out loud every time.

There are so many memorable seens, from the "I like that boulder, that is a niiice boulder" to the scene with the frog and snake balloons. The animation is incredibly lifelike and fits the manner in which lines are said. In fact, I feel like you can recognize which actor plays whom just by looking at the features of the character.
The script is incredibly witty, funny for little kids, all the way up to adults (even funny for teenagers like me). I was a camp counselor this summer and the campers and counselors must hve had a shrek conversation at least once a week. You have to give this movie a shot, it is one of my all-time favorites.
I like it, really...

Really really

Summary: A great fairytale story
Review: Shrek is on of a long line of growing computer animated movies that began with Toy Story. Each movie becomes more realistic. The characters almost look like real people and animals. The story centers around an outcast Ogre who finds his swamp being invaded by fairtale creatures. These fairytale creatures have been evicted by an evil ruler lord Farquaad. Lord Farquaad decides to get a wife. He chooses the lovely Princess Fiona. But Princess Fiona is held prisoner by a fierce dragon. Shrek the Ogre is sent on a quest with his donkey sidekick voiced to perfection by Eddie Murphy. In return he wants to get his swamp back.

Shrek basically pokes fun at the fairy tale gender. One funny scene is when Lord Farquaad tortures the gingerbread man (who sounds a lot like Mr. Bill of Saturday Night Live).Eddie Murphy was his hysterical best as the voice of the donkey.

The basic message of this movie is that one must not judge a person by his or her appearance. The quality of the animation is amazing. Each movie is more realistic. Final Fantasy and Disney's Dinosuars are the nmost realistic to date. Computer 3D modeling and animation is a rapidly growing field. There are many software programs on the market. Some are very expensive but, a few are reasonable and are quite good ...

Summary: The Magic Of Computer Animation At Its Best!
Review: SHREK is one of those movies that when you first see it amazing you on many levels. From the kids point of view it has characters and color and action and lot of slapstick cartoon humor. For the adults it has innuendos and under tones and a lot of intellectual humor. The subtleties of the dialogue and action of our main characters cannot really be appreciated until you have seen this movie more than once.

The story is great. There is an ogar named Shrek who wants to be left alone in his area of the forest. Due to an egocentric and selfish 'shot-sighted' king - ruler, Shrek is invaded by all the old fairytale character every created by the Brothers Grimm and all the other fairytales we grew up with and loved. From snow white to Peter Pan, Robin Hood, Goldilocks, the Gingerbread Man, the Magic Mirror, Pinocchio and a talking Donkey. A talking Donkey you say...hence the adventure begins.

From this point forward the two opposites (Shrek and the Donkey) must convince the king to get rid of tall the fairytale characters but they found out there is a price. They must rescue a princess from a mean dragon.

The movie is best represented by the talents of Mike Meyers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (The Donkey), John Lithgow (The King to be) and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona - these are the people that make this humorous and touching.

The DVD extras a really great. A bunch of stuff for the kids but for the adult there is the documentaries and the detailing of the computer animation process. Extremely detailed and hours of things to see and watch. I would recommend this for every family. Have fun. 8-20-02

Summary: I'm Making Waffles!
Review: Mike Myers,Eddie Murphey,Cameran Diez,and John Liftgow are the star voice talents in the wonderful fairy tale film Shrek.Mike Myers is the voice of Shrek a big green ogre who just's a little privacy in his swamp but can't get it due to people hunting him to get cash.One day Shrek finds a flyer posted for cash for fairy tale creatures and figures out why there hunting him.

Trying to get cash is an old lady giving away her talking donkey named Donkey.Donkey runs away and bumps into Shrek and takes an instant liking to him.Donkey is voiced by Eddie Murphey.Donkey asks to stay with Shrek and after much resistance he agrees.

That night Shrek finds out that a whole bunch of fairy tale creatures have been sent to live outside Shrek's swamp by order of Lord Farqquad who is voiced by John Liftgow.Farqquaad wants everything to be perfect untill he learns from a Magic Mirror that he is not a king and has to get married.He picks Priness Finona to be his wife but she is locked away in a castle guarded by a dragon.Shrek and Farqquaad make a deal.If Shrek gets Finona Farquaad will give him his swamp back.Shrek and Donkey's adenture then begins.

Shrek is a great animated film but I was expecting more then what I saw.Some parts dragged and I found dull but I do recommend this film to anyone.The voice talents were amazing.Shrek won an Oscar for best animated picture in 2002 and it does deserve it.See this animated hit Shrek.

ENJOY!

Summary: Great Fairy Tale
Review: This is a great fairy tale, including the cast: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, John Lithgow, and Vincent Cassel. Why this is even funny as the other fairy tales, including music from the motion picture: Baha Men ("Best Years of Our Lives"), Smash Mouth (Remake: "I'm A Believer"), Leslie Carter, and The Proclaimers. I even liked the Shrek Karaoke Swamp Dance Party. Anyway, they are making a "Shrek 2" coming in 2004. It's about Shrek and Princess Fiona coming back from their honeymoon, and visting Princess Fiona's parents but didn't know that Princess Fiona is an ogre. Why I hope it is better than the original. I give it ***** (5 out of 5).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not only the best animated feature of recent memory but . .
Review: a great film as well. I have seen this film so many times and have a blast each time. The timing is perfect, the characters are very well played and the stuff is just funny! Good for kids (lots of fun bathroom humor here) but not only: adults should have no shame to see Shrek. A phenomenon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprisingly good.
Review: Let's face it: The animation looks creepy. I've always thought so, and I stand behind that. But Mike Myers is wonderful, Eddie Murphy is a delight, and my 13-month-old son is transfixed every time he beholds Shrek. How bad can it be?
